Sony Xperia 5 II review Comments

Suza, 29 Sep 2020Preordered the Xperia 5 II on day one. To be honest I was thinking of waiting for a price drop... morethat is a good move i guess, esp if the freebies do not depreciate faster than smartphones... with that i can still say that 1 ii is a bit better with freebies, headphones or earphones on or near flagship...
the next second best time is to wait for a year or two if you are really into getting it at a good price...
so yeah, preorder it with the freebies or wait for a significant price drop...
sadly i dont get a freebie with an import from hongkong (no official xperia store in the philippines)

Ugly phone. Ugly curves
Bring back the boxy sharp edges rectangular looks like Sony XZP, XZ1C, Z5 Design. Monolithic

Just as curiosity ....
Do ppl here know that screen colour accuracy decreases as brightness rises or goes down?
For example, any screen will show better accuracy at 340 nits than 800 or 100, by huge margin.

No phones from Sharp, LG or Sony there.
Even Apple gets high score, I have ipad and can say I expected much better screen.
By the way, how many phones have got A+ from them lately? All tested since 2018.
What a coincidence.
I wonder how Samsung gets A+ when since S7 all them have same issues with white, red, gray and green. The warm tones that you cannot get rid even setting cool colour profile.
He is display expert. He could force delta below 0.8 on Xperia 1.
Feel free to watch.

AnonD-954200, 29 Sep 2020We'll never understand how Sony names their products
LolI really think people are nit picking Sony:
many, including reviews, nit pick on the naming. Xperia 5 II, what is so difficult about this? Queen Elizabeth II you have no problem with? A7s iii no problem? Iphone 12 max pro is a mouthful too.
nit pick on a 21:9 screen is too tall. most samsung phones are 20:9 and that's not a big difference and most are equally tall as the 1 ii or 5 ii in length. Yet no one ever said they are too tall or too big.
I think they have almost got everything right with the 5 II, for me it could be smaller, with a true dual sim instead of hybrid. I applaud them for keeping the headphone 3.5mm, no notch, no curved screen, sim and SD tray open with fingernails only (i never understood why sim eject tool is invented, imagine the metal wasted in the world), integrated fingerprint and power button (since 2015, now other brands do it) I wish the lanyard holes are still there.
What I wish Sony could do is: real dual sim, free bumper, UI software support for dual accounts for Whatsapp etc (a la Samsung), option for a sub 6 in screen.

Find X2 pro has an A+ rating from DisplayMate.
They called it Indistinguishable from perfect.
I trust DisplayMate over some delusional Sony fan.
Find X2 pro display won more awards than the amount of Sony sales this year.

H.S works like laptop when user removes battery.
You can use phone for 20, 40, 100, 240, 500 min etc ..
Not single 1% is used.
If battery is 100%, it will remain 100% as long H.S is working. Battery temperature decreases about 8 Celsius compared to H.S off.
And it is not just for games, a list of apps that can use it show up there.
Few days after phone was released in Japan, a guy posted the test.
34 Celsius only after playing games for a while.
Oppo about 39 Celsius while charging and OnePlus even passes 40. And he did not even used the phone for games while charging. Otherwise both would pass 50 Celsius easily.
Not even phones with SD810 reach this while charging.
https://youtu.be/pUOkPd2Ygrw
BBk tech is just to make sure it is safe against explosions while charging at this high voltage.
It will still get hot.

- Oppo QHD + delta 0.8 + piece is missing + stupid useless curved sides (unwanted touches, glare, fragility and different colour tones compared to centre)
- Both 8bit + 2 (samsung does not make 10bit, only LG, Boe and China Star).
* Industry stardards are Full HD and 4K. QHD is useless. Nothing is recorded in this resolution.
If you do not use find x2 pro, you would not come here make all these advertisement. Not even tech sotes care about this phone. Oppo is lucky Southeast Asia still fall for their bad phones. Western world gives s**** to them.

They(phones from BBK electronics) have much superior VOOC or equivalently named technology that keeps the phone cool even while charging and using the phone.
Sony will take 2-3 more years to reach that level in fast charging tech.

About the screen, it goes brighter with creator mode.
Data is not included, but it was for Xperia 5 (631).
Using the R-G-B controls, you can lower delta to 0.7.

Don't know where you got that idea from.
But I know people who are using it as daily driver.
I praise phones which are great. Find X2 pro is an awesome phone with a much better display than Xperia 5 II.
Hahhah You simply can't handle a Chinese flagship being better than Sony.

It's a shame there has to be a workaround to begin with.
